Re: Edits for ad mod_1-0-7_v1-0-2b on Smf 1.0.7 (Index.template.php edits)

[cslepage]

NEXT EDIT: In your themes directory of the theme you want to modify find the "Index.template.php" file open it.

In same file find:

echo '

and replace with:

global $modSettings;
   echo '</td></tr>';
if ($modSettings['js_text_displayads_botindex'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))
{
   echo '   <tr><td id="bodyarea">
            <div align="center">',$modSettings['js_text_content'],'</div><br /></td></tr>';
}

   echo '</table>';

Save, close and upload....after backing up the original "Index.template.php"

Which "echo'" do I replace? 

Also, if the theme doesn't contain one of the files mentioned, like "MessageIndex.template.php," do I make the changes in the "MessageIndex.template.php" for the default theme instead?

[bigguy]

If the theme you are using doesn`t contain one of the template files the changes will have already been made to the one in the default theme so you don`t have to worry about those edits. Also you want to be looking for the first:

echo '

after the first edit you made in that file. Does that make sense.

NOTE: Remember to backup the file you are working on before editing anything.

[cslepage]

If I make those changes to the files in the default theme, does that mean the ads I intend for the non default theme will also show up in the default theme?

I have a forum on my board with its own theme, and only that forum, initially, would have ads.

Also, can this mod be used to show ads only to guests?

[bigguy]

You shouldn`t have to make any changes to the default theme files. When the mod installs it only installs to the default theme. You have to make changes to any template files that are in your custom theme folder. Yes this mod can be used only to show ads to guests if this is the way you have it set in your permissions.

The next echo ' I see is in here:

function template_main_below()
{
    global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

    echo '</td>
    </tr></table>';

Is that the one I replace?

[bigguy]

No goto the next, try to find the one (and there is one in most templates) that as the space at the front of it.

[cslepage]

Here's the rest of the file after the first edit:

I honestly don't know which "echo" to choose.

[bigguy]

Find this part in the file:

echo '
        </div>';

    // This is an interesting bug in Internet Explorer AND Safari.  Rather annoying, it makes overflows just not tall enough.
    if ($context['browser']['is_ie'] && !$context['browser']['is_ie4'] || $context['browser']['is_mac_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_safari'])
    {

and replace the:

echo '

part with this:

global $modSettings;
   echo '</td></tr>';
if ($modSettings['js_text_displayads_botindex'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))
{
   echo '   <tr><td id="bodyarea">
            <div align="center">',$modSettings['js_text_content'],'</div><br /></td></tr>';
}

   echo '</table>';

NOTE: back it up before trying this.

[cslepage]

None of the three themes I use (default, helios multi, smiley) would accept that modification.  I can get ads to show up as the second message, and on the board index, but none of the others work so far.

[bigguy]

The default theme should already be modified, you don`t have to do that at all.

[cslepage]

When I installed the 1.07 ad mod, I got "failure" on index.template.php, boardindex.template.php, and display.template.php.

Oh, and I was wrong:  everything but ads at the top and bottom are working.

[bigguy]

And that is for the default theme

[cslepage]

I found it!

I had to find this:

echo '</td>
    </tr></table>';

    // Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright.  Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
    echo '

And replace

echo '</td>
    </tr></table>';

with:

global $modSettings;
   echo '</td></tr>';
if ($modSettings['js_text_displayads_botindex'] && allowedTo('ad_manageperm'))
{
   echo '   <tr><td id="bodyarea">
            <div align="center">',$modSettings['js_text_content'],'</div><br /></td></tr>';
}

   echo '</table>';

[bigguy]

Glad you found it. Is it all working fine now

[cslepage]

Yes it is!  The only thing that would make it better would be for me to upgrade my forum to a newer version of SMF to get more ad features.

[bigguy]

I`m glad it`s working. The choice is yours if you would like to upgrade. I know I love the features of 1.1rc2. 

[cslepage]

Is there any way to make the "ad after the first post" show up after a different post?  For instance, could it always be the last (most recent) post you see?

[bigguy]

I don`t think you can in the version you are using.
